The goal of TravelSafe is:

'To work as partners to create a public transport system that offers the opportunity for all members of the community to travel safely and without fear'

This statement links into the overall Local Transport Plan aim of increasing use of public transport, as concern for personal security is a factor preventing access to and thus preventing usage of public transport. Also the staff providing this service deserve to be able to work without fears for their security, and this in turn will impact upon the security of passengers.
